Brick Slip Cladding in Northamptonshire
Brick slip systems giving an authentic brick face over insulation or an existing rendered wall.
We carry out brick slip cladding across Northamptonshire and the surrounding Northamptonshire area throughout the year.
Most of what we see around Northamptonshire reflects the wider Northamptonshire pattern — ironstone and limestone villages, Victorian brick and extensive modern development, and lime work on ironstone and monocouche on new-build estates. With a moderate, drier inland climate, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests.
Local factor. The local ironstone is soft and highly porous, and cement render on it traps moisture and accelerates the stone's decay.
Is brick slip cladding right for a Northamptonshire property?
Choose brick slips where planning, conservation or street character require a brick face, or where you want brick detailing over an insulated wall.
That decision gets made at the survey, not on the phone. We will tell you plainly if a different system would serve the building better — including when a cheaper one would.

FAQs
Brick Slip Cladding in Northamptonshire — questions
Can brick slips go over insulation?
Yes, that is one of their main uses. Purpose-made carrier systems fix over EWI boards and take the slips mechanically as well as adhesively.
Will brick slips fall off?
Not when installed on a proper carrier system with mechanical fixing as well as adhesive. Failures come from adhesive-only fixing onto unsuitable substrates.
How long does a rendering job take?
A typical three-bedroom semi is usually one to two weeks on site including scaffold, preparation, application and finishing. Weather, wall condition and the system chosen all move that.
Do I need planning permission to render my house?
Usually not on a standard house, but you will if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if rendering would significantly change its appearance. We flag it at survey.
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
